Examining pain levels after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery and their relation to blood markers
Relationship Between Acute Phase Markers and Acute Post-operative Pain in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: An Observational Study
This study looks at how certain blood markers relate to pain levels after gallbladder surgery to help find better ways to manage pain for patients.

What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the relationship between acute phase proteins and post-operative pain in patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy. By analyzing serum markers such as leukocytes, C-reactive protein, D-dimer, fibrinogen, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, the study aims to predict pain severity and identify the most suitable pain relief therapies. Pain levels will be assessed at multiple time points post-surgery, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of pain dynamics over time.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Not a fit: Children and individuals not undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management strategies for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of correlating blood markers with pain levels is not widely tested, similar studies have shown promise in understanding post-operative pain.
